Weed Out the Immigrants.
Nashville Union.

Nashville Union.
On Wednesday last the largest
number of immigrants recorded in a
single day landed at Castle Garden.
The total number was 10,113, who
came over by thirteen steamships.
There were Germans, Irish, and
Edglish. Swiss, in their green cos
tunes, jostled with Turks and Greeks
in baggy trousers; Italian girls, with
bright-colored handkerchiefs, and
Hungarian peasant women with
dresses to their knees and boots on
were huddled together in one mass
which, for color and ordor, could not
be beaten anywhere else in the world.
What is to be the effect on Ameri-
ca of this rush? Most of these new
arrivals are very poor, and a large
majority Of them are unskilled work
men-common laborerS accustomed
to living in the very lowest strata of
existence in their native lands. 1t is
not unfair to suppose that among
them are many absolute paupers, peo-
pie who can do nothing of real value,
and many of them are without doubt
criminals already or prepared to be-
come such at the slightest opportuni-
ty. The problem that presses for So
luton is: What are we to do with
them?
The idea that America is the haven
for the oppressed of all nations has
been stretched until it has been made
to cover those who have violated in
their own country just laws intended
for the preservation of society.
What is gained to this nation by per-
hitting this class to come here? Is
there not some plan by which no per-
son without good moral character will
be permitted to seek the shelter of the
American flag? The laws ostensibly
prohibit the importation Of poverty
stricken foreigners, but there should
also be added to this an inhibition di-
rected against the anarchists and
others of whom Spies and Parsons
are apostles and deities. There are
enough of these vermine here al.
ready. Let the supply be at once
promptly cut off.

"NOTHING TO Do"

Nothing to do in this world of OURS
Where weeds spring up with fairest flowers,
Where smiles have only fitful play,
Where hearts are breaking every day
Nothing to do, thou Christian soul
Wrapping the Ground in thy selfish stole,
Off with the garments OF sloth and sin;
Christ thy Lord hath kingdom to win.
Nothing to do There are prayers to lay
On the altar of increase, day by day.
There are foes to meet within and without
There is error to conquer, strong and stout.
Nothing to do There are minds to teach
The simplest form of Christian speech;
There are hearts to lure with loving vile,
From the grimmest haunts of sins defle.
Nothing to do There are lambs to feed,
The precious hope of the church's need;
Strength to be borne to the weak and faint
Vigils to keep with the doubling saint
Nothing to do! And thy Savior said,
Follow thou me in the path | tread"
Lord, lend thy help the journey through
Lest, faint, we cry, "Somuch to do"

farms. In the workshops, in the
halls of legislation, at the bar, on the
forum, in the pulpit, ninety-nine-
one-hundredths of the men who
stand upon the summit were once
boys on the farm.
In youth they perhaps went bare
footed, wore patched clothes, and
worked their way up to an education ;
but they got there! While the city
boys are fooling with the most frivo-
lous things in life, the country boy is
working, struggling towards the
practical, useful ends Of life, and
often brings up on the summit of
fame. With book under one arm
and a few extra clothes in his hand,
he passes the elegant home Of the
city boy, and looks at ease and luXu-
ry from a distance; but one day he
may return and buy the mortgage
which is now on that once envied
home, and become the honored citi-
zen.
Where did that boy get his noble
purpose and unfaltering courage
They were born to him on the farm 4;
they were woven into his fibers by
early years of toll; the warp and
wool of his life are threads of golden
labor.

A young-looking man in a clean,

Things looked very attractive, and
so neat and dainty, that James, fear

carelessness, might not be wanted
there, and felt sorely tempted to con-
ceal the truth. 1t was a long distance
from the place from which he had
been dismissed and the chances were
slight for new employer hearing the
